It is good because I don't see how there is any way that the Tech/Startup communities will switch from Techmeme to either Tailrank or Megite. Techmeme is brilliant in it's simplicity - easy to read, fast-tracking, all relevant stories with no spam and no dupes. It will always be the #1 reference for this community.

Yeah... that's the idea. Let as many people build applications on top of Spinn3r as possible. Should be fun. Also... I should note. We're trying to make the license very affordable for researchers. If you want to perform research on blogosphere data you should def contact us. Kevin Kewtr,

Now, a million minds are set loose, and who knows what will come out of it. If something great comes, so much the better for Spinn3r as more people will make use of it. Anyway, good luck with it.
